9/6/ Safety, Security, Etc. PHENIX Ladder Update: Ladder to Muon ID Steel in Southeast IR: Yellow Tag: requires work permit to access Ladder to Muon ID Steel in Northeast IR: Red Tag: work around use yellow tower ships ladders and access from top level. Ladder on Southwest and Northwest of MuID steel: Red Tag: do not use, no work around Ladder to Eyebrow: Red Tag: work around – use new cross over from bridge; ladder repairs in planning stage Ladders to West carriage, North and South: Red Tag: do not use, work around: use portable ladder to access platforms, consult PHENIX work control coordinators first to plan work All other fixed vertical ladders at PHENIX: Red Tag: do not use, no work around All non-vertical (ships ladders), non-fixed ladders (portable extension, ships (e.g. CM access), A-frame, etc. are permissible to use with appropriate training and planning. Check with work control coordinators for more info.
